than his brie. words as, dropping be-
hind Polly and her father, he followed
them at a respectful distance.
This is Main street, explained
Polly, turning u beaming face upon
him, as, leaving the wharf, they en-
tered the village itself.
"Ohl'' said Tad, filed with amaze
ment, and thinking how funny it all
was--the narrow plank walk, the grass
growing green by the wayside, with
cows-real live cows- feeding on i'll
Tad caught himself wondering what a
country COW would do in Philadel-
phia street--say Broad street, for ex-
amplcl And then, too, every thing
was so quiet. Occasionally farm
wagon rolled leisurely by, or an OK
cart, with a brown-faced man, in shirt
sleeves, sitting sideways on the cart
tongue, jolted slowly along. Tad, who
had never seen any oxen before, re-
garded them as probable new and su-
perior breed Of cows.
AT little intervals along the street,
great elm and maple trees were grow
ing-trees whose shade in summer
nearly hid the quaint old houses behind
them from view. just now their
branches were bare, but the warm
April sun which shonc down through
them suggested that soon they would
begin to throw out shoot and bud. Al
ready some bluebirds and q robin or
two were comparing musical notes in
the tree-tops, as they discussed the
shortest passages from the south, or
began laying their plans for spring
housekeeping.
A little further on stood the one
store and post-oilice combined, then
came the town pump, the school-house,
small church with square tower like
a sentry-box. and then
"Our house." rapturously cried Pol
~, and, dropping Bounce, who wad-
died along after her as fast as his short
legs would carry him, she darted
through an open gateway and up a
trim gravel walk, and was directly

arms of Mrs. Flagg, who was short and

"For this and all other mercies the
Lord make us truly grateful said
Captain Flagg, reverently. as he took
on his oil-skin hat, in which it was
popularity believed he slept while
voyaging over the main.
This was his inyariable form of
thanksgiving, as soon as Bixport wharf
was sighted, and with its utterance
Captain Flagg dove into the cabin,
there to throw aside, with his seafaring
attire, the weightya responsibilities of
the voyage.
Ten minutes later, MS the " Mary j.

residents of Bixport seemed to have
assembled, Captain Flagg reappeared
on deck in his go-ashore suit, consist
ing of tall hat. crumpled suit of
navy-blue, and low-quartered shoes
highly polished. In a commanding
voice the Captain gave the necessary
orders for bringing the schooner along
side the wharf Down came the dingy
sails, and half-dozen pairs of hands
We're extended to catch the lines
thrown from the deck. Enthusiastic
were the greetings extended to the
ships company, for the quiet Of the
little inland village had never been
disturbed by the locomotives scream
or the sound of steamers paddles,
and the arrival of the only sailing
packet between Bixport and Boston
was an event Of considerable impor-
tance. There were on board at least
three large boxes Of dry good, a case Of
millinery, hogshead Of molasses, and
other groceries in proportion, for MIR.
Jones, the store-keeper; Mr.. Allen, the
minister, had package of books
'Zias Mason, new harness, and
Deacon Whitney, mowing-machine--
the first of its kind eyerseen in Bixport.
Among those assembled on the
wharf, Tad noticed a boy about his own
age. dressed in n well-worn suit of
tweed. He had curly hair, a pair Of
very laughing blue eyes, a turn-up
nose and freckled face. Most promi-
ncnt in voice aad action was this youth,
who, upon catching sight Of Eph. per-
formed shuttle suggestive of delight,
and in a very audible voice called out;

of the afternoon.

Joe was the first TO spring on boardi
and it was evident That Joe Whitney
was n youth Of considerable vivacity,
TO say the least. He slapped Captain
Flagg familiarly on the shoulder, sa-
luted the grinning George Washington
IN most hilarious manner, and, rush
ing frantically aft, seized upon Bounce
with shout Of iubilation.
81 say, Polly he exclaimed, ''what
a jolly little dog only you orter have
him muzzled- -he looks savagel''
There's some boys l know that
wouldn't be worse if they We're muz-
zled,n gravely observed Captain Flagg
--rescuing Bounce from the hands OF
his nephew, who was preparing to
stand the small dog on his hind legs
though he tempered the severity Of this
hint by slight internal chuckle, and a
wink Of intense meaning.
'.No is that so, Uncle Jethpn re-
turned Joe, regarding Tad with look
of seeming apprehension. "He don't
seem like one of that kind,n added the
youthful speaker, with affected inno-
cence, as Captain Flagg turned away
to hide smile.
"Oh, Joe Whitney, you're just as
bad as ever Polly exclaimed, despair
ingly; and then, remembering that the
polite usages Of society called for a
formal introduction, she added:
Joe, this is Tad Thorne--I hope
you'll be ever SO good friends"
"How ARE you, TadPn said Joe, with
a shy twinkle in his eye.
How are you Joe?n awkwardly re-
turned Tad, who didn't very well know
what else to say, and, on the whole,
rather fancying the easy, off-hand man
ner of Polly's cousin. But, then, every
body liked Joe, as general thing
even those Bixport people who insisted
that If he scds Deacon Whitney's son,
he was the worst boy in the place.
Yet Joe's badness was nothing so
very bad, after all. He was only one
of those restless, fun-loving boys, who
are never so well content as when they
are in mischief; and neither the pro-
testations Of his mother, nor the occa-
sional thrashings administered by the
good deacon, had any thing more than
a merely temporary effect.
"Did you come from Bostonp'' asked
Joe, as Tad, with a home-sicl1 feeling
under his jacket, watched Polly and her
father getting ready to leave the vessel,
for, Of course, he expected to. have to
stay on board until some different ar
rangement was made for him.
No. from Philadelphia, returned
Tad, and Joe began to regard him with
a sort of respect; for Philadelphia, in
the eyes Of Bixport people, was one Of
the most wonderful cities in the whole
world.
Come on, Tad; we're all ready"
called Polly, and can assure you that
Tad was not more than minute in
running below after the little hand
sachel. which he determined not to let
out Of his possession, and returning to
the deck.
'Isn't it nice that you're going home
with usP' said Polly, as the little party
Of three walked up the wharf, leaving
Joe swarming up the "Mary J.'sn
rigging, three ratlines at step.

'Mr. Allen, our minister, took that
verse from a paper, and had itcut on
the stone isn't it beautifulp softly said
Polly.
"Yes, indeed" returned Tad, consid-
erably bewildered, "only don't see
what it has to do with you.n
"Waitl l am going to tell you all
about it, his companion responded.
But she sat for moment or two with
out speaking, resting her chin in the
hollow of her small hand, and her dark
eyes looking far of seaward. Through
the hushed stiffness, the distant voice
of the ocean came to their ears, sound
ing soft and low, like the imprisoned
echoes that one hears in soa-shell.
1T was IN the great gale of 1872, when
fifteen vessels and hundred and
-4wenty men were lost on sGeerge's
Banks, !" said Polly, abruptly, "rhe
'pomerania' drove ashore ON some
reefs at the mouth of the river, near
where the lighthouse stands now. A
fisherman came up to Bixport, and
told people about it. Every body--the
men, l mean got down to the point
as soon as they could. There wasn't
any life-boat, and they say the sea was
something dteful. But there was a
whaleboat that belonged to George
Hudson, and so Captain FIagg got five
fishermen TO go off with him in It,
though nobody thought they could ever
get through the surf line. But they
did, and just managed to reach tho

poor people were in the water crying,

Here Polly stopped moment and
caught her breath, while Tad felt a
curious lump rising in his throat. He
touched Polly's small hand with his
own rough one in mute sympathy, but,
frightened at his boldness, drew it
hastily away and after a little cSshe
went on;

beside her. just in front Of them stood

very low tone, as she pointed to the in

by the solemn stiffness, only broken by
the breathing of the soft south wind

Tad read, in subdued voice;
